The little princess grows up.

  • You can see how the granite edge treatment lines up with the vanity.

This was fun, here is a custom piece our home owner picked up and wanted to use it in her bathroom.

We replaced the old wooden top and selected a granite top that was cut to match the wood edge profile all around. Then we removed the wooden back splash and made a granite one just larger. The results are just out standing.

items we already had with a few well placed building supplies, we could totally transform the room (for under $200)! You can read about the whole process (with before and after pictures) on my blog harbourbreezehome.com. The actual link to this reveal is: http://www.harbourbreezehome.com/2011/06/159...
